Chapter 609 - 639: It’s All Fate
Chapter 609: Chapter 639: It’s All Fate
Lin Nian wasn’t dumb. Plus, she had the ultimate advantage of having transmigrated into a book. In this era of great opportunity, she could have had a great life if she’d just put in a little effort.
But unfortunately, she was like a dodder flower, content to be a parasite on others and never wanting to stand on her own two feet.
Shen Yi didn’t quite get it, but he wasn’t going to waste time trying to figure it out. Whatever happened to them had nothing to do with him.
’Let them tear each other apart. It would be for the best if they just got in each other’s way.’
Shen Yi added a piece of egg to Qin Jiao’s bowl and said pleadingly, "Jiao Jiao, after the first three months, once the pregnancy is stable... can we... you know?"
"Theoretically, yes, but by then, it’ll be the end of the year. Jiuyi is going to get busy."
It wasn’t just Jiuyi. All their companies got busy at the end of the year.
Shen Yi: "..."
Finally, he said in frustration, "Jiao Jiao, when the baby is born, let’s just let your parents raise it. If that doesn’t work, we can dump the kid on my mom. She just finished raising Little Gu Duo, so she has experience!"
Qin Jiao gave him an exasperated kick. "That’s enough out of you. Aren’t you worried your son will hold a grudge against you after he’s born?"
"No, maybe it’ll be a daughter. I want a daughter who’s as beautiful and smart as you!"
The two of them didn’t dwell too much on whether they were having a boy or a girl. After all, boy or girl, this child was a blessing born of their love.
Qin Jiao and Shen Yi hadn’t been wrong. When they all met that day, both Lu Jiuan and Lin Nian were startled. They even thought Shen Feng’s sudden return meant he must have found something out.
The two of them were a bit nervous the whole time, but they managed to keep their composure. Still, Shen Feng could sense that the atmosphere between them was a little off.
After Meng Lanlan and her husband left, Shen Feng asked Lin Nian, "Why were they here?"
Lin Nian said, "Meng Lanlan wanted to visit me, and her husband came with her. By the way, how did your talk go? I heard from Lanlan that her husband wants to get into the electronics business too."
The mention of starting a business successfully diverted Shen Feng’s attention. He said, "Yeah, he mentioned one of his cousins is already in this business down in the South, but they’re short on technology and capital."
For the technology, they could hire professionals. As for the capital... Shen Feng was tempted. He planned to ask Shen Zhengfeng for the money.
The last time he’d wanted to strike out on his own, Shen Zhengfeng had told him he didn’t have enough experience.
’But what if he had a partner?’
Seeing Shen Feng hesitate, Lin Nian decided to strike while the iron was hot. "I think this is a great opportunity," she said. "And the future prospects for this field are sure to be incredible!"
"Did you dream about this too?"
"Of course! Just you wait and see. Computers will become like notebooks that fold in half. And phones will become smart—they’ll even replace computers!"
Lin Nian grew excited just thinking about the rapid technological development of the future and how the early giants of the electronics industry had reaped massive rewards.
Shen Feng was swayed, but getting money from Shen Zhengfeng would be difficult.
He said, "I’ll figure something out."
Lin Nian egged him on, "You could go to your mom and have her put in a good word with your dad. Besides, this is a great opportunity—a chance to prove you’re better than Shen Yi!"
That reason was more effective than any other.
Shen Feng nodded. "Alright, I’ll go talk to my mom tomorrow. Hey, the baby’s been so well-behaved today. Why hasn’t he cried at all?"
Lin Nian faltered for a second, then said stiffly, "Oh, maybe because we had guests over, the baby didn’t dare make a peep. Or maybe he was crying all last night and didn’t get much sleep, so he’s been catching up on it all day."
